Community Guidelines

Keeping every place safe, real, and welcoming.

Draft v0.1 · 14 June 2026

Our promise

Lokalr connects people to places. That only works if places feel safe and real. These Guidelines apply to everything on Lokalr — posts, photos, video, stories, comments, reactions, profiles, place names, and check-ins — and are part of our Terms. Breaking them can mean content removal, feature limits, or account suspension. Serious violations — especially anything that harms children — lead to immediate removal and reporting to authorities.

1. Protect children — zero tolerance

No content or behavior that sexualizes, exploits, or endangers minors. This includes child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming, sexualized depictions of minors (real or generated), and sextortion. We remove it, terminate accounts, preserve evidence as required by law, and report to NCMEC and authorities.

2. No violence or threats

• No threats, incitement, or glorification of violence.
• No content promoting terrorism or violent extremist organizations.
• No coordinating harm to people or places.

3. No harassment or bullying

• No targeted abuse, insults, or repeated unwanted contact.
• No threats, stalking, or encouraging others to harass.
• No revealing others’ private information or precise location (doxxing).

4. No hate speech

Do not attack or dehumanize people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or serious disease. Slurs and hateful symbols are not allowed.

5. Adult content & nudity

Lokalr is not an adult platform. Do not post pornography or sexual content. Some non-sexual nudity (art, breastfeeding, health, cultural/religious contexts) may be allowed and may be limited or age-gated. Sexual content involving minors is never allowed.

6. Keep places honest

• Don’t anchor content to a place it didn’t come from to mislead, spam, or hijack a feed.
• Don’t impersonate a place, business, institution, or person.
• No fake/bulk accounts, bots, or artificial engagement.
• No spamming places with repetitive or irrelevant junk.

7. No illegal or dangerous activity

• No selling or promoting illegal goods or services.
• No fraud, scams, or phishing.
• No content encouraging dangerous or self-harming behavior. If you or someone you know is struggling, contact local emergency services or a crisis line such as 988 (U.S.).

8. Respect privacy & IP

• Share images/info of others only with appropriate consent; never share intimate images without consent.
• Don’t post content you don’t have the rights to.
• Don’t reveal others’ private or precise location.

9. Reporting, blocking & appeals

You can report any post, comment, story, or account in-app, and block users. Reports are reviewed by automated systems and human moderators, prioritizing imminent harm and child safety. Depending on severity we may limit, hide, or remove content, restrict features, or suspend accounts. If you believe we made a mistake, you can appeal at appeals@lokalr.app.
